Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention relates to a solid-state imaging device and a driving method for a solid-state imaging device as well as an electronic apparatus, and more particular to a technique for reducing generation of noise in a solid-state imaging device and a driving method for a solid-state imaging device as well as an electronic apparatus.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] A popular image sensor of the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) type includes a mechanism for sequentially scanning a pixel array, in which pixels are arrayed two-dimensionally, for each pixel row to carry out reading out. This row-sequential scanning generates a displacement in time among accumulation periods with regard to different pixel rows and gives rise to occurrence of a phenomenon called focal plane distortion that a picked up image upon imaging of a moving imaging object is distorted.
